New docu highlights fishermen's plight in WPS

A new documentary titled 'Food Delivery: Fresh from the West Philippine Sea' will premiere on July 27, focusing on the challenges faced by Filipino fishermen and defense personnel in the disputed waters.

The documentary's full trailer has been released, emphasizing the rich marine life of the West Philippine Sea and the dangers faced by those who fish and patrol there.

Interviewees share harrowing experiences, including being chased away and threatened with guns by the Chinese coast guard.

One fisherman expressed his deep worry about the potential loss of livelihood and lives in confrontations.

The film aims to showcase the real stories of those defending the nation's territory, with one trailer segment stating, 'The film one country doesn't want you to see.'

Directed by Baby Ruth Villarama, 'Food Delivery' will have its domestic premiere at the Power Plant Mall in Makati.

The film was previously withdrawn from the Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival in March due to 'external factors.'
